The Salvation Army
“The Salvation Army pledges to help people of all religions, as well as those with no religious base. We have an official “position statement” that says: “All social welfare services to individuals or families are given without discrimination, according to the capacity of the organization to serve in meeting the needs of those involved.”
It is hard to list everything that The Salvation Army does since it does everything from feeding starving children and families through recovery from natural disasters, and more. They battle against poverty, addiction and homelessness.
Because of the wide scope of the services we offer, The Salvation Army is uniquely positioned to think in terms of long-term solutions to social problems. We certainly continue to meet the short-term needs of individuals for food, shelter and clothing. Our long-term care services provide a continuum of care based on the philosophy of “aging in place” wherever possible. It is very likely that there are people in your community that have been served by one or more of our many services.”
